When a charismatic female singer and a dynamic singer/comedian get
together on stage - there's bound to be an explosion! And that's exactly
what will happen when Corrine and Ronnie are in 'Concert' on Sunday May 7 at
the BMICH at 6.30 p.m. So make sure you are there to catch the song and
humour. Corrine is not prepared to reveal all what will happen at the show.

There will be musical surprises she says and chart toppers too, apart
from the humourous ones. It's an opportunity that should not be missed.

The Female Singer of the Year 2002 who carried off the Observer Golden
Clef Music Award, Corrine needs no introduction in the music industry. Her
remarkable skill and style has made her famous not only in Sri Lanka, but
internationally as well. As a matter of fact she's more out of the island
than in.

Her recent shows in Australia drew large fans, and no sooner she finishes
this concert she'll be out again I guess!

Ronnie Leitch the popular singer/comedian who thrives on wise-cracking
skits, has many tricks lined up his sleeve for this concert.

Blessed with a fertile imagination and quick wit, there's never a dull
moment with him, when he is on stage.

Music will be provided by Sohan and The X'periments, the concert will
also carry dance acts by Channa Wijewardena and compered by Vijaya Corea.
Presented by D. K. Presentations the concert is in aid of the Swimming Pool
Project of St. Joseph's Convent, Kegalle.

The splendour of King's Court

The new King’s Court.

It was a magical transformation of splendour - the ballroom of Trans Asia
Hotel. The King's Court with its elegant refurbishment was formally 'opened'
for action last Tuesday. Gone was the twenty-year-old ballroom with its
dated and awkward interior decor, and in its place stands a ballroom that is
ultra modern in style, and fabulously furnished in a dull gold and russet
theme.

The shiny new cutlery and glass ware gleam with the pale gold hues
reflecting upon them.

At the media briefing led by Roshan Gurusinghe, the Resident Manager
expressed that the King's Court refurbished by the Singaporean designers Ben
Sovereign could now be used for not only the usual receptions including
buffets and cocktails, dances, launches, but also for diverse conferences,
since the King's Court is now equipped with modern and up market facilities
which makes it highly competitive.

C & C wow their fans

Chandani & Chaminda.

Come Tuesday evening and you can enjoy the music stylings of Chandani and
Chaminda at the Hilton Torana Lounge. The group had an auspicious start to
the New Year, when according to them, they were invited to perform in France
for the first time for the New Year celebrations organised by the Sri Lankan
Cultural Association at the international Bataclan theatre.

The festivities were organised by Lakshman Madawala and Gamini Silva.
Soon after arriving in Sri Lanka the band jetted off to Jordan for a series
of concert performances.

"This was our second appearance in the city of Jordan,where we performed
altogether five shows on April 7, 13, 14 and 15. Once again the concerts
were organised by the Sri Lanka Association, the organiser being Mangala
Batuwanthudawa.

We had a good response, the audience was spontaneous in dancing and
singing to the music. Without exaggeration at one of the shows we played non
stop for about five hours. Reluctantly we returned to Sri Lanka on Monday
April 17", expressed Chandani.
